Its not weakness or subservience.
Anyone who has a person as a leader as the story describes Adam is to her would act the same.
1. It states many times he was the closest thing to a father to her.
2. It states he was always viewed as infallible and a great leader to her.
3. It states she felt a big resentment to her childish actions of the past that put her out of his grace.
This all fits perfectly with her actions and decision to follow his command exactly. Sure there are gameplay decisions in the various unlocking of items, but that is just the game. The idea of her following his commands is the story and the overall all logic and that is a perfect fit to how the history is laid out.
The only parts that are misplaced is the breakdown with Ridley. That was truly out of character and should at least have been put after Ridley killed her closest friend as a emotional gesture.
There is nothing else in her demeanor, performance, or story characterization that cannot be part of a woman worrior that is Samus. I think too many people expect a butch badass with a rough and tough voice/balls to the wall gunner. To me that idea fo Samus is sterotypical when woman are portrayed as the soldier and I prefer this version (less the breakdown).
